A mum who tried for years to lose weight dumped her quick fix diets for Slimming World and lost six stones in a year. Hayley Short, 41, had tried a string of alternative weightloss schemes from strict calorie counting to one which involved nothing but milkshakes.
Despite fighting her weight since her teens nothing worked. One of the plans even left her with her hair falling out.
But the mother-of-five made a new start on January 1, 2021 when she joined her local Slimming World group. Getting on the scales for the first time she saw the scales hit 17st 2lbs.
